If you have a hardwood floor it could be the floor itself or the subfloor and hardwood floor rubbing against each other due to a breakdown or missing underlayment.If you have a sleeper flooring system you will have 2x2-4 sandwiched between two layers of subflooring and should be running 12" on center.If you do decide to do the drywall method here is a link to resilient channel http://www.soundproofingcompany.com/soundproofing1...If you do decide to use this make sure that when you hang the drywall that the screws are not too long so that they don't go beyond the channel into the joist or other wise you will defeat your purpose. also when installing the channel you should install it perpendicular to the joist and don't forget to box around any fixture with the channeling so you can properly attach the drywall to it.

I am pretty sure the windows are not a standard size, and I don't particularly want to go with retro-fit, so I am in search of recommended brands and installers in the Oceanside, north San Diego area.Any ideas/tips would be most welcome.Thanks,Russell

With the strange shaped crown you will cut ( to match the angle of the slope), once installed and caulked - the eye will see the bottom of the crown molding line up with the rest of the room.Another method to do this: hold the crown up against the wall, with the right side flush with the ceiling and straight across to the left wall ( make sure the right side bottom is in line with the molding from the wall to its immediate right).

The principal differences being:the electric baseboards (EBB) are install and controlled on a room-by-room basis; andEBBs rely on convection to permeate heat into the room (there is no fan circulating the air)In theory EBBs should have similar operating costs to a centralized electric forced air furnace (if not lower), however, in practice, that is usually not the case.Because of their reliance on convection, EBBs have slow recovery - i.e. if there has been a draft (someone opening an external door or window) or if the heat has been set back during the day and was turned up on the occupants return.
